Learn It Today, Use It Tomorrow

Presenter: Sarah Ward, M.S., CCC-SLP

October 4, 2017

Indianapolis, Indiana

Sponsored by the Indiana Resource Center for Autism
In Collaboration with MSD of Lawrence Township

Workshop Overview
This is a practical strategies seminar! First you will learn how to clearly define what the executive function skills are for the purpose of determining the most effective treatment interventions. Understand the development of the executive function skills and what is meant by the term “executive dysfunction.” You will learn dozens of functional, ready-to-use strategies for teaching students how to develop the executive function skills. Teach students to develop a “memory for the future”, to devise plans to achieve their goal, to use self talk, to self initiate, to transition to the next task of higher priority, and to control their impulses and emotions to successfully complete a task.

Collaborative & Proactive Solutions: Understanding and Helping Students with Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Challenges

The Indiana Resource Center for Autism, the Indiana School Mental Health Initiative, and the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, in collaboration with the Noblesville School Corporation are sponsoring a workshop presented by Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., on November 9th in Noblesville, Indiana.

This workshop covers the empirically supported model that Dr. Ross Greene describes in his influential books, The Explosive Child and Lost at School. The CPS model has transformed thinking and practices in countless schools, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities, and has been associated with dramatic reductions in disciplinary referrals, detentions, suspensions, seclusions, and physical, chemical and mechanical restraints. The model represents a significant departure from discipline-as-usual: it focuses on solving problems rather than on modifying behavior, emphasizes collaborative rather than unilateral solutions, encourages proactive rather than reactive intervention, de-emphasizes diagnostic categories, and provides practical, research-based tools for assessment and intervention.

PECS Level 1 Training Workshop

Presenter: Jill Waegenaere, M.A., CCC-SLP

September 7 & 8, 2017 - A Two Day Workshop

Indianapolis, Indiana

Co-Sponsored by Indiana Resource Center for Autism and Pyramid Educational Consultants, Inc.

in Collaboration with MSD of Lawrence Township

The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is a language training package that is used to teach communication skills rapidly to those with limited functional speech. PECS promotes communication within a social context, without lengthy prerequisite training. Training in PECS begins by teaching a spontaneous request and goes on to teach additional communicative functions such as responding to questions and commenting. An added attraction for preschool children with autism and related disabilities is the high proportion of children who acquire independent speech.
